The One Way I Get More Video/Photo Clients
I honestly don't do a lot of pitching. I try to solve one thing first: friction.
Every client is struggling with something right now. It might be small, but they're struggling. And that's where I step in to help.
Rather than pitching a big video/photo project, I focus on solving their current friction. Once I help them solve that, I have their trust and then I can do a lot from that point.
Honestly, I think a lot of people are losing out on jobs because they're too busy pitching things that clients aren't interested in right now. Creatives are overlooking the friction a client has.

    I’ve been doing photography for the last decade. My quality is in the top five out of all the photographers in my town. I’ve always done free shoots because every time ask for any amount of money they go and find a free photographer. Hearing you say I should be charging $150 an hour is absolutely insane to me. I’d be lucky to make $100 for the shoot plus 100 edits. What am I doing wrong?

    • @TrentErwin
      @TrentErwin 17 дней назад

      What niche of photography are you in? It really depends, because yes some niches are a race to the bottom. But other niches people aren’t going with the free option. Like in corporate world. People want to pay for your style, your deliverables, and your expertise. If the people you’re attracting are going with free options, I’m afraid you’re attracting the wrong audience. You need to put your time and attention toward an audience that sees your value and will pay for it.

    Hi! I've read that you used Final Cut to render some clips so you didn't grade it in Resolve. Anyways, how did you grade it? Did you apply only a conversion LUT from RAW to Rec709 or did you apply any other LUTS? I'd just like to know if the look we see in your Image comes straight out of the camera or not. Thanks a lot!

    It is also important to have a good price in order to improve.

  • @MikeO01
    @MikeO01 3 месяца назад

    Very informative. It puzzles me that EVERYBODY talks about the necessity of ND filters and the 180 shutter-rule. Can’t you get as good as a motion blur in post (like Davinci Studio)? One would be more flexible and wouldn’t have the hassle with the NDs all the time. Hardly anybody talks about the negatives/restrictions of using an ND filter like, color-casting, vignetting, having to use a higher ISO sometimes, not being able to use polarizers with a variable ND filter which is usually less of a quality anyway, etc. If the motion blur is only done in post, without NDs, how good and easy is the result of a proper motion blur and quality?

    GREAT VID! In your honest opinion, is the 100F really that much softer wide open than the 100V? if so what about at F2.8? just wondering if all the negative about the soft lens is blown out of proportion. And also, have you had alot of problems with the F hitting any buttons by accident like the Q or D pad etc...Thanks

    • @TrentErwin
      @TrentErwin 3 месяца назад

      I don’t think it’s THAT much softer. Probably a bit, but nothing I’ve noticed on its own. And it depends on what you’re going for. I like softer tones and then if you need some added sharpness then add it in post. But I love the look of the F. It’s going to be a tad slower on AF because it’s older but still very reliable and usable. Never had issues hitting buttons accidentally.

    I traded my Canon 5D III for a Fuji Xt-3 three years ago. Sold the Fuji and went back to Canonbwith the R6, where I am staying. Yes, the Fuji brought me back to my film days with the analog controls I find so intuitive. But the autofocus was unreliable and the low light performance is clearly below that of the R6. I do mostly travel photography with a lot of low light scenes, and the Canon is far superior. The XT-5 I heard is better, but the complaints about autofocus are still the overwhelming complaint. Lovely and light, but no thanks.

    I have x h2. If you need afc in video especially, far away from fuji. This makes you disappointed. Generally xh2 and xh2s can not react fast and sometimes got stuck and blurry especially suddenly change the camera direction to another object. And fuji is not useful for closed video recording for exampla subject for jewels. If your light is even little bad i know fuji can not focused st the time. So i mean if anybody change from any brand to fuji, all need to know what they need exactly. If not, be sure fuji's colors can not save your decision at all.
